A poem for you, mom

The other day I was flipping through stuff and found a journal that belonged to you, mom. There were very few poems, and some cute doodles of trees, houses, and clothes.

They were beautiful poems

My mom always had a way with words, but me not so much. Poems are hard for me. I remember not being able to write them in forth grade; it was quite distressing to me. But, my mother would sit at the table and marvelous words would flow out of her... it was beautiful.

So, I've decided to write a poem for you.

If Heaven had a Window

By Jessica Tolasky 12-27-14

If heaven had a window, and you granted me a view

I wouldn't waste time searching

I'd only look for you

I'd listen for your laughter

And wait to see your smile

All because I miss

the scent of your shampoo

If Heaven had a window and you granted me a view

I'd treasure that sweet moment and only be near you

Here on earth I pray to God to show me signs of youand every day that passes you're with me in my mind

I wonder if you're happy

And waiting there for me

I love you and I miss you

More than words could say

I hope that you can hear me

and listen to my thoughts,and where ever this life takes me you know I've not forgot.That once upon a time I was blessed and loved its true,and if heaven had a window
